<p><em>Playing Together </em>Excerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Today was the day that they had chosen for the play date. And </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">although she was excited, Brianna was also a little nervous. This was </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">the first time she had had a friend over to play at her house, other than</span> <span dir="ltr" role="presentation">her cousins, of course. Would Helen like her house? Would her mom </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">and dad like Helen? What if Helen got bored?</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Brianna herself didn’t like feeling bored and certainly didn’t Helen to </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">feel bored, especially not on her first time visiting Brianna! So Brianna </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">decided she would plan the day from start to finish. That way, there </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">would be no chance Helen would be bored!</span></p></blockquote>
